Be sovereign. Don't allow others to tell you where you send your money and where you can't. Fuck corrupt politicians who have sold their souls to the Israel lobby.
Please don't stop any time soon. Your videos are so helpful. You have a wealth of experience as a real world hedge fund manager. In one of your videos you mentioned that you are a Christian and in that spirit you are providing a much needed information service in a field that is unfortunately ripe with scammers and influencers who are paid to deceive the public. Keep going, Dr Jeff!
From the Financial Times today:
"Sovereign bitcoin reserves are a relatively small phenomenon but they are probably here to stay. One reason is that old-school currency reserves are also becoming riskier. See, for instance, speculation that the US might pursue a so-called Mar-a-Lago accord to weaken the dollar. Should a new monetary system come about, that might just create a space for an alternative like bitcoin."

"You're ruining my show!"
That was a very funny and very helpful podcast. American Hodl and Fish were great guests and it was good to hear about their experiences of the 2021 bitcoin market.
Your show is going from strength to strength, Dr Jeff. It's become a must watch for me. Thank you.
Just watched Eps 1 & 2 on YT. Loved the simple honesty, no sales talk and even the technical problems you were encountering with your first livestreams! Far better than watching a slick production with an snake oil salesman (think Raoul Pal).
Looking forward to more episodes.
From "The Bitcoin Standard" by Saifedean Ammous.
Brian Armstrong, CEO of Coinbase, says that market leaders from around the world at Davos this week grilled him about the Strategic Bitcoin Reserve and "how they can avoid being left behind."
"President Trump is forcing everyone to up their game. Basically every conversation I had with major market leaders was focused on what the Trump Admin planned to do on crypto – eg on a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve – and how they can avoid being left behind. As the company best positioned to help governments create a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve (through our custody and trading services), these were valuable touch points."

Financial Times, Thursday 16 Jan 2025 - "Pension Funds Dabble In Crypto After Massive Bitcoin Rally"
"Pension funds are dipping their toes into buying bitcoin, in a sign that even typically staid corners of finance are finding it hard to ignore the potential outsized returns from cryptocurrencies.
"Pension schemes for the states of Wisconsin and Michigan are among the top holders of US stock market funds devoted to crypto, while some pension fund managers in the UK and Australia have also made small allocations in recent months to bitcoin using funds or derivatives.
"Advisers say the surge in bitcoin last year, which more than doubled to touch $100,000, has spurred the interest of conservative trustees.
"Crypto analysts predict it could double again this year with the arrival of a pro-crypto Trump administration. The president-elect has vowed to make the US “the bitcoin superpower of the world” and end a regulatory crackdown on the sector.
"Matt Scott, a consultant at Mercer, which advises UK pension funds, said: “Since election day we have been getting a flood of queries in — trustees don’t like to think that there’s a hot asset class out there that they don’t know anything about.”"

Break free with Bitcoin.
This is the scene I was referring to from Madonna's Into The Groove video - purely for historical reasons you understand.
Almost every happy childhood memory: It missed out the rather lovely scene with Madonna on all fours with her knickers showing in the music video for her single Into The Groove.
The Times: "£260bn wiped from valuation of assets in pension schemes"
Oops. Maybe it is time to seriously consider adding Bitcoin to their pension portfolios.
Happy Thanksgiving.
Please serve the interests of justice and the people of the USA, not Israel.
